Old Server
First make a full backup of your database
copy all files to your pc
before your upload to new server delete all files in the cache folder.
Transfer your DNS to new server
New Server
create new database
import database
insert new info into the includes/config.php
create a file named path.php
with this info
Code:
[Select]
<?php
echo
getcwd
();
// Short for `Get Current Working Directory`
?>
upload path.php and run yoursite.com/path.php
copy and insert the info in the includes/config.php for cache
upload all files
Now you should be able to login into admin, insert the new directory path in admin => settings
Done!
